LG launches flagship 'social media phone' G6

The launch was attended by tech bloggers, social media influencers, and celebrities, including Sponge Cola's lead vocalist Yael Yuzon, Sharlene San Pedro, Luis Hontiveros, Khalil Ramos, and members of the band Hale.

Dubbed as a "social media phone," the LG G6 is an all-around gadget, says Yuzon, who is particularly impressed with the phone's superior camera and music player.

"In the world of social media, we interact with people, we download songs. Tapos you're gonna want to listen to it the right way. So having this is like having a vinyl player that fits in your pocket," Yuzon adds.

"I'm Drunk, I Love You" director JP Habac, meanwhile, notes that the phone has features that allow users to create high-definition videos. He even used it to shoot a short film around the University of the Philippines-Diliman, revisiting some of the locations used in the hit movie.Top quality specs
